Any benefit from" same brand" amp/pre-amp??


Is there any benefit from the amp and pre-amp being the same brand??? I am consdering separates, and like the Quad 99 series pre-amp. It does have a matching power amp, model 909, but bass is limited because of the bandwidth limits of its class D design. I have read about and considered an amp called the Odyssey Stratos. It gets very good reviews, but I do not know if it would be compatible with the Quad pre-amp. Thanks

Sunnjim, perhaps it's something peculiar to that Quad amp. Most seem to feel that with the right speakers, that bass response is a strong suit of some Class D amps.
Magfan, I very well could be missing something here, but why would one care much about what goes on at 30Khz?
Magfan made his point clear. Who cares even above 16kHz?
I use for 7 years Sunfire SRA class T amp which is an advance from class D technology with addition of sigma-delta signal encoding/decoding and found it superior to famous Wyred4Sound models.
Perhaps that one went over my head, but I'm not sure Magfan was being sarcastic.
If you don't have the ability to try many combo's at home , a same brand match will work , most times .
